Starkie, R.M., a woman of bad repute named Ann Beazley was prosecuted by Mr. E. Farrell, for trespassing on his property, the portion known as The Bush. The case having been proved, the prisoner was fined 10s and costs, or in default, 7 days. Another woman named Ann Mills, of the same class as the previous one, was summoned by Constable Long for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. She was sent to gaol for one month with hard labour. The same constable had up another prostitute for vagrancy. She got six weeks, with hard labour. Sub-constable Foley charged a tramp named Thomas Grassey for violent conduct in the public streets, and for demanding money from Mr. J. N. Beamish, J.P. That gentleman was examined, and stated that the prisoner demanded money of him opposite the club-house, and said he wanted it to get drink. The constable arrived on the spot as he was about making his escape, and stopped him. Sub-constable Foley was then examined, and proved that the prisoner was very violent. He was sent to gaol for one month, with hard labour.--Adjourned. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
